DME TUNING (OPTIONAL)

NOTE:

When another auxiliary window is turned on, the DME Tuning Window is replaced on the PFD.

NOTE:

When turning on the G1000 for use, the system remembers the last frequency used for DME tuning

and the NAV1

state prior to shutdown.

The G1000 System tunes the optional DME transceiver. The UHF DME frequency is tuned by pairing with a

VHF NAV frequency. DME frequency pairing is automatic and only the VHF NAV frequency is shown.

The DME Tuning Window is located to the right of the HSI in the lower right corner of the PFD. The DME

transceiver is tuned by selecting NAV1, NAV2, or HOLD in the DME Tuning Window. Pressing the DME
Softkey switches the DME Tuning Window on and off.
